Trump’s Presidency May Exacerbate Climate Crisis

Policy experts have voiced concerns over the potential deepening of the climate crisis under a potential second term for former U.S. President Donald Trump. With his track record of climate policy rollbacks, such as withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and loosening environmental regulations, experts warn that a re-election would likely reverse efforts to tackle climate change. Trump's past actions, including supporting fossil fuel industries and minimizing the role of renewable energy, have raised alarms about the future of global climate action.

As a leader, Trump’s energy policies favored oil, coal, and natural gas industries, often at the expense of more sustainable alternatives like wind and solar. Experts argue that this stance not only undermines global climate agreements but also slows the transition to a low-carbon economy, which is critical to preventing irreversible environmental damage. The international community and environmental organizations have already voiced their opposition, emphasizing that continued inaction on climate change could lead to more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems.

With the urgency of addressing climate change growing, experts urge U.S. policymakers to adopt stronger, science-based strategies and support global cooperation to curb emissions and accelerate the transition to clean energy.
